Long sentences for first-time drug offenders is a problem with the system. I don't see the value to society of any sentence longer than the time it takes to get the drug out of your system, as long as no other crime was committed.
Also, if we legalize and tax the crap out of marijuana, it might solve some budget problems.

Jon's goal is never to have a discussion, it's to shut down discussion and troll legitimate conversations with his extremist (on virtually everything) viewpoint.
